Oracle RAC 11gR2: Listener INTERMEDIATE status with "Not All Endpoints Registered"

Problem:

$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stat res -t on one RAC node displays the error on node1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME TARGET STATE SERVER STATE_DETAILS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Local Resources ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ora.LISTENER.lsnr ONLINE INTERMEDIATE node1 Not All Endpoints Registered ONLINE ONLINE node2


Cause:
Listener was started from $ORACLE_HOME instead of $GRID_HOME

 Solution:

1. Stop currently running local listener from $ORACLE_HOME.

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop

2.  Stop SCAN listeners currently running on node1.

$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stop res ora.LISTENER.lsnr -n node1
$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stop res ora.LISTENER_SCAN1.lsnr -n node1
$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stop res ora.LISTENER_SCAN2.lsnr -n node1

3. Start local listener from $GRID_HOME of node1

 $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start res ora.LISTENER.lsnr -n node1

4. Start listeners from GRID_HOME.

$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start res ora.LISTENER_SCAN1.lsnr -n node1
$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start res ora.LISTENER_SCAN2.lsnr -n node1

5. Check CRS status now.

$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stat res -t Status should be online now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME TARGET STATE SERVER STATE_DETAILS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Local Resources ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ora.LISTENER.lsnr ONLINE ONLINE node1 ONLINE ONLINE node2
